[Farmall] REGLAUR fARMALL

[Bob Currie]

>s/n T-53635 would be a 1929 Regular if that is the correct number. Besides 
>being stamped on the manufacturer plate on the tool box, it is also 
>stamped into the top of the left frame rail just in front of the radiator. 
>The engine number could also be a match, but not always. Mid year changes 
>for the 29 model included the additon of a Purolator oil filter, mounted 
>on the right side of the block, near the rear. As others have said, the 
>open steering gears are the easiest clue. When the F-20 and F-30 came out 
>there were several updates. One being a stronger countershaft (rear end) 
>housing that has a different shape than the Regular. Another easy thing to 
>spot is the Regular has a separate canister for the gasoline starting 
>tank. It is mounted on the rear of the main fuel tank support. Later 
>models had that starting tank incorporated into the main fuel tank and all 
>you see is another filler neck/cap on the rear of the main tank. Most of 
>the main stream Regulars had an Ensign, brass carburetor while the later 
>F-20's mostly used a big Zenith K-5. And again as others have said, the 
>Regular had a small bowl type muffler that blew the exhaust straight out 
>the side of the motor right below that brass carburetor, while the next 
>generation F series went to an exhaust pipe that went up through the hood. 
>and actually was routed "around" the hood on the F-12/14's.
